After 4 large babies, and too much excess weight, I have alot of excess skin on my stomach.

I've been wearing a cheap compression tank from Wal-Mart while I run to help hold everything steady.

I'm in the market for a new one and was hoping someone could recommend a good one. With extra firm control, lol!

    When I first saw this, my mind first went to decompression chambers.

    I was like.....so this is the new diet fad, eh? Then I read your post twice, because the first time I read it I was thinking the whole time about how on earth a decompression chamber would make one lose weight.

    Now I feel silly.

    I'm looking forward to the answers you get. I've also had 4 big babies, lost 100+lbs and I run too. Cheers!

    I'm not a fan of spanx. I don't think it's very firm control.

    Not just you. It's a tank top.

    It's never dawned on me to wear shapewear while exercising, though....in my mind, shapewear is for formal body con dresses. Workout clothes are for spandex and relaxed bellehs, but good supportive bras.

    And I'm 45 with 3 kids, so I know from droop.

    I like Under Armour's compression gear...they have slim selection for bigger women, but I just buy men's instead. The tops are longer in men's anyway and feel better to me. They also seem to breathe well and are pretty good at wicking away moisture.

    I've never really looked into UA at all, but that might be worth it. I'm usually too long waisted.
